The focus of the conference is the theory of the Standard Model and beyond at finite temperature and density and in and out of equilibrium, including applications to cosmology, astrophysics and relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. Among the topics to be discussed are:

  • QCD in extreme conditions and dense nuclear matter
  • Heavy-ion collisions and the Quark-Gluon Plasma
  • Quantum fields in and out equilibrium and thermalisation
  • Baryogenesis and leptogenesis
  • Electroweak phase transition beyond the Standard Model
  • Early Universe physics and sources for gravitational waves
  • Quantum field dynamics and inflation
  • Compact stars
